Despite an ever increasing Anti Immigrant Political backlash in Europe and all around Americas, the country of Canada has been a shining star to immigrants who wish to move to a more developed and safe nation to build the future of their kids.

The population comprised mostly of French origins followed by Irish, English, Scottish and German. The most common language spoken in Canada at that time was English followed by French, German and Gaelic speakers.

The statistics Canada based on their research states that due to an ever increasing rise in the immigrant population, by the year 2036 we can expect a major shift in the Country’s language and ethno cultural composition.
